Okay. Here it is. The first product from TrickMetric Custom Components.
The-More-Then-You-Could-Ever-Want-To-Adjust, 4-Shoe, Puch e50 Superformance Clutch
For the mere price of $100 (plus shipping), this uber-clutch can be yours (production shipments begin 3/2/10.) Currently in prototype phase, with testing to follow on a stock 50cc, a 70cc, and an 80cc metrakit monster.
No modifications are required to any part of your e50 motor. It uses the stock (or treat's performance) clutch bell, the stock starter plate, and stock retainer clip. It is designed to engage at any RPM you could ever want it to, with as much or as little slip as you need. Adjustments are made by altering preload on the springs with the use of precision spacers. Shoe weight can be altered simply by moving the preload spacers from one end of the spring to the other. A full engagement RPM/slip duration chart will be provided based on the prototype testing data. Oil-sips, as shown in the picture above, are optional as are extra-heavy-duty springs for you way-late engagers (7k+!)
The option to pre-order has been requested, and it's understandable as this will be a limited production of 100 clutches. Though I'm a little uncomfortable taking money without product in hand, I can guarantee you your money back if, for whatever reason, you decide you don't want one before they are shipped out.
If you don't care if your the first in your gang to have one, just send me note and I'll put you on the runner-up list. Any clutches that aren't spoken for through pre-orders will be available to those on the list.
